FYI: Learning only happens when you build your own curriculum.
Josh and I were lucky enough to see Nick Murray speak to a group of financial advisors last week. He shared some incredibly insightful ideas that he’s learned over his fifty years in the business, but what really got people to pull out their phone and take notes was when he was talking about books that influenced him. I’ve noticed this desire to be told which books to read on the internet and in my inbox.
I understand why people who are first getting into finance ask me for some recommendations, but it was only recently that I realized why I’ve been less than enthusiastic to oblige them.
It’s hard to learn when learning feels like homework, and that’s exactly what it feels like when you’re given a list of books to read. My suggestion is to make your own curriculum.
